Chapter nine
'Nina, are you okay?' Jack asks. I still look at my phone. 'Don't you have to answer her?'
'Eh, yea.' I hold my phone at my ear and listen.
'Hey!! Sister! How are you!'
'I- eh- I'm fine, Mila. H-how are you?' I stumble. Mila laughs.
'Why so nervous? Haha!'
'Because I haven't talked to you since you went to Riverside.'
'Ugh, It's horrible there. I really want to see you again, Honey.'
'Well, If your ever in LA, come and see me.' I know she's never ever coming to LA. She hates is.
'Oh, but honey, I'm already in LA.'
'What?!'
'Cute boyfriend by the way, what was his name again?'
'Nina, what's going on?' Jack asks me. I look around. How the hell does she know that Jack and I are together? I didn't even told my parent, not even Juna!
'How do you know that?!' For some reason, I'm scared. I'm thrilled. I know Mila changed in the years.
'Nien, what's riverside?' Jack asks me.
'An asylum...' I mumble. 'Mila, how do you know that Jack and I-'
'I can see you over there.' I look around again. 'Oh, you're so over me. Hun, behind you.' She hangs up. I turn around, and to my amazement, I see that Mila walks to me and Jack. The first thing I see it that she colored her hair. From dirty blonde, to silver with some colored highlights. Some of them are blue, some of them are purple, some of them are pink.
'Hello sister!' Mila opens her arms and hugs me firmly. I'm still surprised. How the hell did she got out riverside?! 'What? Not even an hello?'
'What are you doing here?' I ask. Mila chuckles and pulls herself out the hug. 'How did you got out Riverside?!'
'They let me out.' Mila says with a big smile. 'It went so well that they thought I could go. So, Now i'm living here. In LA.'
'You always told me you hated LA!' I say. 'What are you doing here, Mila?'
'Mom told me that you was here.' Mila says. 'And then I saw you and your boyfriend walking to the park, so I thought; let's make a talk. What was his name again?' Mila looks at Jack. He looks a little amazed at Mila. Somehow, his expression, his weird. I cant read his emotion off of his face.
'Oh, eh.- I'm sorry, I'm Jack.' He says when he sees that Mila is staring at him. 'Jack Avery.'
'Oh, I know you!' Mila says. 'Yes, You're the boy from a few years ago. I see it, I see it. Since when are you guys back together?'
'A few days ago.' Jack answers her question.
'Nice!' Mila says. 'Should we talk somewhere else? It's beginning to twilight. We can drink something at my place. Nina, come on. I'm your elder sister, I know that you want it!' For a moment, I want to say yes, so that we can get rid of her.
'Actually.' But suddenly, Jack puts a hand on my waist and pulls me closer to him. 'Nina and I are going to have dinner. So, I'm really sorry.'
'Oh, I don't mind.' Mila smiles. 'Have fun you guys!'
'Thank you.' Jack turns around, and takes me with him. Then we walk away from Mila.
'What was that for?' I ask while we leave the park.
'I don't like her.' Jack says. 'I totally don't like her. She radiates something that I can't explain. But I can tell you that's not good. I never liked her tho. I only act nice to her because of you and because of Sydnie, who was suddenly her best friend!'
'Really? I never knew that.'
'That shows i'm a really good actor.' Jack says. I shake my head and chuckle. His hand is still on my waist. 'So, do you want to go for a dinner?' He asks after a while.
'Nah, don't need to.' I say.
'Do you want a movie at mine?' He asks. 'I know a movie you just have to see.'
'If its a horror movie then no.' I say. Jack laughs.
'No, it's not a horror movie.' He says.
'Then we can watch it!' I smile.
'Awesome! Let's go, moonshine!'
'Stop calling me that!'
'Nope.'
'You are so annoying.'
'Thank you. I love you to.'

'What an idiot..' I sigh while I watch to the tv. 'I'm telling you; if you go in there, you're so gonna die!' Jack laughs. 'What ? It's true! That's just to obvious in movies like this! Here, I jus- Oh my god! If your gonna die, I warned you! - this are one of those typical movies where that would happen.'
'Possible.' Jack says. A scream comes from the tv.
'What did I just said?'
'You're right, I know, I know.' Jack laughs.
'I'm always right.' I smile.
'Yea, sure.' Jack laughs.
'Do you have a problem with that?' I ask.
'No, of course not.' He laughs.
'Okay, then it's fine.' I say. Jack shakes his head. I look back to the tv.
'Nina, have you been eating?' He asks suddenly.
'Yes, why?'
'You look thinner then usual.' He says. 'You're not lying to me, are you?'
'No, of course not.' I say. 'Why would you think that?'
'Because every time you say that you eat enough, it looks like you get thinner and thinner. Are you really eating?'
'Yes Jack, I am.' I say. 'I promise you.'
'You are not on a diet, are you?'
'No, of course not!'
'I'm just making sure, I'm sorry.'
'Don't be.'
Suddenly, I feel tired. Really tired. I try to hide it, but I guess I can't. I put my hand on my forehead and blink a few times.
'Are you okay?' I nod. 'You aren't, don't lie to me.' I sigh.
'Just tired, that's everything.' I say.
Jack pulls me closer to him.
'You look pale.'
'I don't have any makeup on.'
'You are not this pale when you're not wearing makeup.' Jack says. 'I know you.'
'I think I'm just a little sick.' I don't think that, I know that.
'Awh, poor you.' He wraps his arm around me and holds me firmly.
'Watch out, maybe you'll be sick to.'
'Nah, don't think so.' Jack laughs. I shake my head. I'm still tired. But I am with him. My wish from two years ago came true, I'm with him again.
I lay my head on his shoulders and hold him.
'Jack?'
'Hm?'
'I love you.'
'I love you to, moonshine.'
'How many times do I have to tell you that you have to stop calling me that...'
'Once, like always.' I shake my head. Everything gets blurry for my eyes.
My time is running out...
